cDNA sequence of Dengue virus serotype 1 (Singapore strain)

ABSTRACT

DENI-S275/90 (ECACC V92042111) is a new strain of Dengue virus serotype 1. The complete cDNA sequence of this virus has been cloned and protein-coding fragments thereof have been used in the construction of expression plasmids. DEN1-S275/90 in inactivated form, DEN1-S275/90 polypeptides or fusion proteins thereof can be incorporated into vaccines for immunisation against DEN1-S275/90 and other DEN1 viruses. The invention further provides diagnostic reagents e.g. labelled antibodies to DEN1-S275/90 proteins, and kits to detect DEN1 virus.

The present invention relates to Dengue Virus Type 1. Dengue virus infection may lead to dengue fever (DF) or its more severe dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). DHF is an important virus disease of global significance, especially in Southeast Asia. There are four serotypes of Dengue virus (DEN1, DEN2, DEN3 and DEN4) belonging to the family Flaviviradae.

The complete genomic sequence of DEN2 (Jamaica) has been published by Deubel et al; Virology 165, 234-244 (1988). The complete genomic sequence of DEN3 (HS87) has been published by Osatomi and Sumiyoshi; Virology 176, 643-647 (1990). The complete genomic sequence of DEN4 has been published by Zhao et al; Virology 155, 77-88. To date, only a partial sequence of any variant of DEN1, DEN1 (Nauru Island), has been determined; Mason et al, Virology 161, 262-267 (1987).

We have now identified a previously unknown strain of DEN1 and established its complete nucleotide sequence. The new strain, DEN1-S275/90, was deposited at the European Collection of Animal Cell Cultures (ECACC) Porton Down, GB under Budapest Treaty conditions on (Apr. 21, 1992) and given accession number V92042111. DEN1-S275/90 differs significantly from DEN2, DEN3 and DEN4 in terms of sequence homology. There are also a number of significant differences between DEN1-S275/90 and DEN1 (Nauru Island).

The present invention thus provides DEN1-S275/90 (ECACC V92042111). The invention further provides DEN1-S275/90 (ECACC V92042111) for use as a diagnostic reagent. The invention also provides DEN1-S275/90 in inactivated form for use as a diagnostic reagent or a vaccine.

The invention also provides the nucleic acid sequence of Seq. ID No. 1 and DNA sequences substantially corresponding to SEQ ID No. 1, e.g. degenerate variants thereof having one or more nucleotide changes but nevertheless capable of being translated to give the same protein sequence. The invention further provides fragments of such DNA polynucleotides, in particular the fragments encoding the C, C', PreM, M, E, NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5 genes of the genome of the virus. The start and end points of these preferred fragments in the nucleic acid sequence of Seq I.D. No. 1 are shown below in Table 1. Table 1 also shows the start and end points of the proteins encoded by these genes, using the numbering of Seq. ID Nos. 1 and 2.

The nucleic acid sequences of the invention may be used as probes in an assay to determine the presence or absence of DEN1-S275/90, or they may be incorporated into a vector, eg. an expression vector.

Nucleic acid fragments according to the invention may be made by known methods of chemical synthesis or cloned from the virus itself using known recombinant techniques. Fragments according to the invention may also be produced by replication of DNA or RNA, by transcription from DNA to form RNA fragments or reverse transcription from RNA fragments to form DNA fragments. Such transcription may be in a cell free system or may be effected in cells for instance by cloning. Cell free systems include an appropriate replicase, transcriptase or reverse transcriptase, suitable nucleotide precursors and a nucleic acid template or appropriate sequence, together with buffers and any necessary or desirable cofactors.

The present invention also provides a polyprotein as set forth in Seq. ID No. 1 and Seq. ID No. 2 and fragments thereof, eg. the C, C', PreM, M, E, NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5 proteins as identified above in Table 1. The invention thus provides a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence substantially corresponding to the sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 2 or a fragment thereof. Fusion proteins which incorporate these peptides are also provided.

The polyprotein and proteins according to the invention may be produced by synthetic peptide chemistry or by expressing vectors carrying DNA encoding the proteins in a suitable cell in order to produce expression of the DNA, followed by recovery of the expressed protein. Methods of expressing and recovering recombinant proteins, including fusion proteins, are well known in the art.

For example, for expression of a polypeptide of the invention, an expression vector may be constructed. An expression vector is prepared which comprises a DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide of the invention and which is capable of expressing the polypeptide when provided with a suitable host, eucaryotic or procaryotic. Appropriate transcriptional and translational control elements are provided, including a promoter for the DNA sequence, a transcriptional termination site, and translational start and stop codons. The DNA sequence is provided in the correct frame such as to enable expression of the polypeptide to occur in a host compatible with the vector. The expression vector may be selected to be suitable to express the nucleic acid sequences of the invention in, for example, a bacterial e.g. E. coli, yeast, insect or mammalian cell. A baculovirus expression system may be used. The nucleic acid may be expressed in order that a protein or peptide encoded by the fragment alone is produced or alternatively it may be expressed to provide a fusion protein in which DEN1-S275/90 or a protein thereof, e.g. E, NS1, NS2, NS3 or NS5 as identified in Table 1 above is fused to a second amino acid sequence, e.g. a C-terminal sequence derived from glutathione S-transferase or maltose binding protein or a C-terminal or N-terminal signal sequence. Such a sequence may for example cause the fusion protein to be exported from the cell. The expression vector is then provided with an appropriate host. Cells harbouring the vector are grown so as to enable expression to occur. The vector may be a plasmid or a viral vector.

Recovery and where desirable, further purification of the protein produced by an expression vector in a host cell may be by means known in the art. Such means are designed to separate the protein of the invention from the other proteins of the host cell. Suitable means include chromatographic separation of the recovered protein.

The polyprotein and peptides of the invention may be used as immunogens for a vaccine against DEN1-S275/90 and other DEN1 viruses. Suitably, the proteins and peptides of the invention will be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in order to prepare a sterile vaccine composition. The vaccine composition may then be used in a method of immunizing a human against DEN1 infections.

Advantageously, a vaccine composition against DEN1 may comprise a mixture of two or more peptides. For example, it may comprise one non-structural (NS) peptide, eg. NS1 or NS3, together with a capsid (C), M or E peptide. A mixture of two or more NS peptides could also be used.

The proteins and peptides of the invention may also be used as antigens in an immunoassay to detect the presence or absence of DEN1, and especially DEN1-S275/90. The proteins and peptides are optionally labelled with a detectable label, eg a radioisotope, biotin or a fluorophore. The immunoassay may be conducted by bringing a known quantity of labelled protein (antigen) into contact with a sample suspected of containing antibody against DEN1 and detecting the presence or absence of antibody-antigen complex containing the labelled antigen.

The invention also provides antibodies against the above-mentioned proteins and peptides of the invention. The antibodies may be monoclonal or polyconal. Monoclonal antibodies may be produced by hybridoma techniques known in the art or by recombinant means to provide hybrid antibodies such as humanized antibodies.

The antibodies of the invention may be used in a method of treatment, eg passive immunisation, of DEN1 infections. The antibodies may also be used in a method of diagnosis, eg by immunoassay, to detect the presence or absence of DEN1 in a sample. The antibodies may be labelled as described above for the proteins and peptides of the invention. They may also be labelled with a toxin or isotope selected to kill virus-infected cells. Antibodies against NS1 are particularly favoured since NS1 is expressed on the surface of Dengue virus-infected cells.

The antibodies of the invention may also be used in a method to detect the presence or absence of DEN1 protein in a sample. The method may comprise bringing the antibody into contact with a sample suspected to contain DEN1 proteins (antigens) and detecting the amount of antibody-antigen complex formed. Immunoassays according to the invention may be, for example, competitive (eg radioimmune assays--RIA) or non-competitive (eg enzyme linked immunosorbent assays--ELISA).

EXAMPLE 1

DEN1 virus, strain S275/90, was isolated in 1990 from the serum of a DHF patient in Singapore by 3 passages in AP61 (Aedes psuedoscutellaris) cells followed by 3 passages in C6/36 (Aedes albopictus) cells, and identified by immunofluorescence using type-specific monoclonal antibodies. After a further 8 to 13 passages in C6/36 cells, the virus-infected culture fluid was partially purified by precipitation with polyethylene glycol and ultracentrifugation on a 30% sucrose cushion (6). The viral RNA was extracted from the purified virus by treatment with phenol in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Following cDNA synthesis (cDNA Synthesis System Plus, Amersham) using random primers, the assorted cDNAs were cloned into EcoRI sites of pUC18 vector via EcoRI adaptors (Promega). The Esherichia coli transformants containing Dengue-specific sequences were screened by colony hybridisation with ³² P-labelled cDNA probes prepared by reverse transcription of strain S275/90 RNA. The cloning procedure yielded overlapping cDNA clones containing inserts ranging in size from 0.5 kb to 2.7 kb. The ends of these primary clones and their subclones obtained by nested deletional analysis (Erase-a-Base System, Promega) were subjected to double-strand sequencing (Sequenase Version 2.0, United States Biochemical). The sequence data generated covers about 90% of the genomic sequence of S275/90.

Potential secondary structures have been postulated for the 5' and 3' ends of flaviviruses (4, 7, 8), posing a problem in obtaining clones with intact ends. A different stragegy for sequencing the 5' and 3' noncoding regions was used to increase the chances of obtaining clones which contain these sequences as well as the terminal end sequences of the genome. cDNAs of strain S275/90 were obtained by random priming and oligo(dT) priming (after poly(A) tailing of the virus RNA]; these were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the presence of specific primers, 796 and 10090/B, respectively. The cDNAs of interest were then religated into pUC18 vector. The nucleotide sequences of the primers are as follows: primer 796, 5' CCG TGA ATC CTG GGT GTC 3' (SEQ ID NO: 13); primer 10090/B, 5' GGG AAT TCC AGT GGT GTG GATC 3' (SEQ ID NO:14) with a BamHI site at its 5' end. The sequences of the primers were selected from that of the initial clones of strain S275/90. To obtain the sequences at the 5' noncoding region, random cDNA clones were first generated as described above, followed by ligation to EcoRI adaptors before insertion into the EcoRI sites of the pUC18 vector. These ligated products of assorted cDNA inserts were flanked by the reverse and forward sequencing primers of M13 in the pUC18 vector. The forward sequencing primer was thus used as one of the primers for PCR. The ligated cDNA clones were used as templates for PCR in the presence of primer 796 (which binds to the plus strand of the template at nucleotide position 808 to 825 of strain S275/90) and the commercial M13 single-strand primer (5'GTA AAA CGA CGG CCAGT 3' (SEQ ID NO: 15), Pharmacia). The amplified cDNAs thus contained the polylinker from the pUC18 vector at one end and an XbaI site (at nucleotide position 728) at the other end. For the 3' noncoding region, an additional step was included before cDNA synthesis. After extraction, the purified Dengue viral RNA was tailed by poly A polymerase (Bethesda Research Laboratories) with ATP. This was followed by cDNA synthesis using oligo(dT) as primer for the first strand cDNA synthesis. The same procedures of EcoRI adaptors ligation and insertion into EcoRI sites of the pUC18 vector were repeated. The ligated products were again subjected to PCR amplification using the primer 10090/B (which binds to the minus strand of the template at nucleotide positions 10,086 to 10,099 of strain S275/90) and the commercial M13 single-strand primer.

All samples were amplified by 30 cycles of PCR with melting, annealing and polymerisation conditions of 1 minute at 94° C., 2 minutes at 55° C. and 3 minutes at 72° C., respectively. The amplified DNA was purified by electroelution in agarose gel followed by appropriate restriction enzyme digestions. The PCR amplified cDNAs at the 5' noncoding region were double digested with XbaI and EcoRI, while those at the 3' noncoding region were digested with BamHI and EcoIR before cloning into the appropriate sites of the pUC18 vector. The clones were screened and subjected to double-strand sequencing as described above.

The sequence data obtained from the overlapping cDNA clones was ordered by homology alignment with the published sequences of the four Dengue serotypes DEN1, DEN2, DEN3 and DEN4 using the computer program of Wilbur and Lipman (9). Seq ID No. 1 shows the complete nucleotide sequence of strain S275/90, which is 10,718 nucleotides in length, and its deduced amino acid sequence. The reading frame begins with the first AUG start codon, corresponding to nucleotides 81 to 83, and contains an open reading frame of 10,188 nucleotides encoding a polyprotein of 3396 amino acids; there are 80 nucleotides in the 5' noncoding region and 450 nucleotides in the 3' noncoding region. The sequence in the 5' noncoding region preceding the first AUG codon of the open reading frame appears to be conserved for all Dengue virus types (1-4). The length of the 3' noncoding region of strain S275/90 is longer than that of DEN2 (412 nucleotides), DEN3 (433 nucleotides) and DEN4 (384 nucleotides).

The nucleotide composition of strain S275/90 is 31.9% A, 25.9% G, 21.5% T and 20.7% C. As reported for the other flaviviruses, the same purine-rich composition was observed, and there is an absence of poly(A) tract at the 3' end.

The individual protein coding segments are based on comparison with protein sequence data for all the proteins determined from the four Dengue serotypes. These cleavage sites may reveal the involvement of viral or cellular proteases involved in protein processing. The C, preM, M, E, NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B and NS5 proteins are cleaved at the sites M/MNQRKK, A/FXL, RXKR/SV, X/MRCXG, VQA/DXGCV, VXA/GXG, X/SWPLN, KXQR/XG, GRX/S, VXA/NE (SEQ ID NO:s 16-25, respectively) and R/G, respectively, where X refers to any residue. The cleavage sites of NS2A, NS3 and NS4B conform to the reported consensus sequences (4, 5), which were originally established by Rice et al (10).

The nucleotide sequences of the structural and nonstructural regions (5' noncoding end to NS1, about 2400 nucleotides in length) of Nauru Island strain of DEN1 (isolated in 1974) and strain S275/90 were compared. Nucleotide variation shows that transitions are about 85.0% [transitions/(transitions+transversions)×100%] in the structural region and 92.1% in the NS1 region; 15% of these base changes are transversions in the structural region and 7.9% in the NS1 region. The overall 236 nucleotide differences have given rise to 27 amino acid substitutions. As shown in Table 2, the nucleotide homology is 93.1% and when translated, the amino acid homology is 97.6%. Although both strains were isolated from different geographic regions with an interval of 16 years, a higher homology was still observed between the two strains. It can also be seen in Table 2 that strain S275/90 shows a higher homology with DEN3 then with DEN2 and DEN4. The nucleotide divergence of each gene is less than the translated amino acid divergence. The greatest nucleotide and amino acid changes, and hence the greatest evolution, lie in the nonstructural gene NS2A in all the four Dengue serotypes. A high homology is found in NS3 and NS5, which contain conserved sequences.

Chu et al (11) compared three topotypes of DEN1 strains (Thailand, Philippines and Caribbean) genetically at the envelope region. They found nucleotide changes to be less than 5% but translational differences of 2% at the amino acid level. Our strain S275/90 shows nucleotide changes of 7.7% and amino acid changes of 2.6% in the envelope region.

EXAMPLE 2

Construction of Expression Plasmids

Standard recombinant DNA techniques were used for construction of the expression plasmids described below and summarised in FIG. 1 (Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: a laboratory manual. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, N.Y.).

For construction of plasmids, the cDNA regions for E, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS5 of clone DI-275, a DEN1 cDNA clone derived from DEN1 virus Singapore Strain S275/90 as in Example 1, were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and digested with restriction enzymes. The restriction enzyme sites were built into the oligonucleotide primers used in the PCR as set out in Table 3 and Seq ID Nos. 3-12.

Fragments of E, NS3 and NS5 cDNA digested with restriction enzymes were ligated to the pGEX-KG vector (Guan and Dixon, Anal. Biochem. 192, 262-267, 1991). Fragments of NS1 and NS2 cDNA were ligated to pMAL-c and pMAL-cRI vectors (New England Biolabs), respectively (Ford et al., Prot. Exp. Pur. 2, 96-107, 1991; Maina et al., Gene 74, 365-373, 1988; di Guan et al., Gene, 67, 21-30, 1991). The construction of NS5 cDNA was done in two stages. The 5'-region, the cDNA fragment from nucleotide 7544-8365 of NS5, was made by PCR, digested with SalI and ClaI; and the 3'-region, the fragment from nucleotide 8275 (ClaI) to the 3'-end of NS5, was isolated directly from the cDNA of clone DI-275 (D-275 cDNA) by ClaI and SacI double digestion. The two parts of NS5 were ligated together, then ligated into the pGEX-KG vector. Recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli DH5α or c600 HF1 strains. All plasmids encoded Dengue virus proteins fused to the C-terminus of glutathione S-transferase or Maltose Binding Protein (MBP).

EXAMPLE 3

Purification of E, Ns3 And Ns5 Proteins from Recombinant E. Coli

E. coli, harbouring E, NS3 and NS5 genes (separately) were grown in LB medium A₆₀₀ of 0.5 at 37° C., then induced with IPTG at 0.2 mM for 2 h at 30° C. The bacteria were harvested and resuspended on ice in MTPBS buffer (0.15 M NaCl, 0.016 M Na₂ HPO₄, 0.005 M NaH₂ PO₄) with 0.1 mg/ml lysozyme, 1% triton X-100, 0.5 μg/ml aprotinin, 0.05 μg/ml Leupeptin, 0.25 μg/ml pepstatin, 5 mM DTT and 0.175 μg/ml PMSF, and kept on ice for 10 min. The cells were sonicated at maximum power for 3×1 min while chilled. The lysate was centrifuged at 12,000× g. The supernatant was added to 1 ml Glutathione-Sepharose 4B beads (Pharmacia), and incubated at 4° C. on a rotator for 1 h to absorb the fusion proteins. Then the beads were centrifuged and washed with PBS buffer (by centrifugation) at least 6 times, or until the wash solution read zero at A₂₈₀ in a spectrophotometer. The beads were resuspended in thrombin cleavage buffer, and the Dengue virus proteins were cleaved off the beads with thrombin at 4° C. for 1 hr. The supernatant, containing Dengue virus proteins, was recovered by centrifugation, and the proteins were stored at -80° C.

EXAMPLE 4

Solubilisation and Purification of a Fusion Protein of NS1 from Inclusion Bodies

E. coli containing the NS1 fusion protein was grown as above, except the tac promoters were induced with 0.3 mM IPTG for 16 h. The bacteria were harvested, 1 gram wet weight of E. coli was resuspended in 5 ml lysis buffer with lysozyme at 1.6 mg/ml and was sonicated for 2×15 sec. After centrifugation at 1000× g the supernatant was again centrifuged (25,000× g). The pellet was resuspended in 2 ml H₂ O, adding a final concentration of 0.5% Triton X-100, 10 mM EDTA, and 100 mM NaCl, then centrifuged at 20,000× g twice. The pellet was washed with 1 ml 2 M urea twice and dissolved in 8 M urea in 0.1 M Tris-HCl pH 8.8, 0.14 M 2-mercaptoethanol. The urea concentration was reduced to 1 M by adding H₂ O, and amylose resin (New England Biolabs) was added to adsorb the solubilised fusion protein at 22° C. for 1 h. The amylose resin was washed with buffer (New England Biolabs) five times until the A₂₈₀ of the clarified supernatant was near zero. A final concentration of 50 mM maltose was then added to elute the fusion protein, which was recovered by removing the beads by centrifugation.

EXAMPLE 5

Purification of a Soluble Fusion Protein of NS2

After growth of E. Coli transformed with pMAL-cRI/NS2-1, lysis and sonication as in Example 3 above, the clarified extract containing the soluble NS2 fusion protein was adsorbed onto amylose resin, followed by washing and elution of the NS2 fusion protein as in Example 4 above.

EXAMPLE 6

Immunisation of Rabbits and Mice

The soluble fusion proteins of E, NS2, NS3 and NS5 purified from recombinant E. coli, as in Examples 3 and 5 above, and inclusion bodies containing the NS1 fusion protein which had been purified up to the 2M urea wash stage as in Example 4, were placed directly in SDS loading buffer for preparative SDS-PAGE in 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels. The proteins were visualised by staining with 0.05% Coomassie Blue for 10 min. The gel segments were cut and homogenized in sterile PBS, mixed with Freund's adjuvant and injected directly into white rabbits intramuscularly and subcutaneously on the first, sixth and twenty first days with about 200-500 μg of fusion protein per injected dose. The rabbits were bled 14 days after the last booster dose. For immunisation of mice, 12-day old female Swiss mice were immunised with the soluble proteins of E, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS5 fusion proteins with or without Freund's adjuvant. The injections were intraperitoneal or subcutaneous on the first, fourth, and fourteenth day, using about 20 μg fusion protein per dose. The mice were bled 14 days after the last dose. The sera of rabbits and mice were used for IFA and immunoprecipitation assays.

EXAMPLE 7

Radioimmunoprecipitations

Radioimmunoprecipitations were done with rabbit and mouse antibodies against the structural and non-structural Dengue virus recombinant fusion proteins of D-275. At 36-40 h post-infection of C6/36 cells with Dengue virus S275/90 strain, cell culture medium was replaced with methionine-free medium containing 3 μg/ml actinomycin D for 3 h, followed by the addition of fresh medium with [³⁵ S] methionine at 20 μCi/ml and 3 μg/ml actinomycin D for a further 3 h. The cells were washed with cold PBS, dissolved in RIPA buffer [100 mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 0.1% SDS, 0.1% NP 40, 1% sodium dexoycholate, 100 μg/ml PMSF] on ice for 1 h, then clarified at 1000× g for 10 min. The lysates were precleared with normal serum and protein A Sepharose. For immunoprecipitation, rabbit and mouse sera that had been preabsorbed with normal, uninfected C6/36 cell extract fixed by cold acetone were incubated with labeled antigen overnight at 4° C. The virus protein-antibody complexes were precipitated with protein A-Sepharose and were washed with immunoprecipitation buffer [10 mM Tris-HCl, pH7.4, 0.05% aprotinin, 1% NP40, 2 mM EDTA, 0.15 M NaCl], 6 times then 2× SDS-PAGE buffer was added, boiled for 2 min, and the supernatant was loaded on a 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. After fixing enhancing and drying, the gel was exposed to X-ray film. The results confirmed that antibodies to recombinant E, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS5 had been generated in mice (FIG. 2) and in rabbits (FIG. 3). These antibodies reacted with the native E, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS5 proteins synthesised in infected C6/36 cells.

EXAMPLE 8

Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay

The C6/36 cells infected with Dengue virus S275/90 for 2 days were fixed on glass plates with cold acetone for immunofluorescence. 2-fold dilutions of the sera of rabbits or mice were incubated with the fixed cells for 1 h at 37° C., then washed with PBS. Secondary antibodies were linked to fluorescein and incubated for 1 h, followed by washing with PBS for observation using fluorescence microscopy. FIG. 4 shows the antisera to E, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS5 reacted specifically with the Dengue virus S275/90 infected cells, but control antiserum did no react. Quantitation of the result (as set out in Table 4) showed that an immune response to all recombinant Dengue virus proteins (E, NS1, NS2, NS3 and NS5) occurred in both mice and rabbits.
